New York Times Article: Link: http://www.nytimes.com/1996/06/10/arts/music-review-mixing-jazz-ritual-and-japanese-banjos.html?scp=1&sq=african+american&st=nyt Summary:
This article is about a band that uses both japanese and african american jazz styles in their music. They somehow found a way to combine these two styles to create a beautiful piece of music. In a concert they had their drummers switching from japanese beats to reggae beats, and them transitioning to some Brazilian beats. I don't know about you, but I think that they found a way to make beautiful sounds come out of different original sounds, is incredible.
Song: Until it sleeps Artist Name: Mettalica Genre: Rock/Metal Why I like this song:
I like this song because it sounds like a mixture of western and rock. It is a song that kind of grinds against your ear, while at the same time engages you with interesting lyrics. Mettalica usually produces such genius music and it is to be expected, but it still doesn't change the fact that this is a decent song.
Mettalica is a band that many metal fans think of when you ask them their favorite band. They were the first real metal band, ever. They brought new meaning to the words, head bang. As one of their first songs, until it sleeps should be remembered.
